Flower Power Pots 2

Flower Power finished pieces

Casserole Dish- the "pink" flowers were suppose to be lavender... seems the purple underglazes all lighten quite a bit at cone 5.

My favorite is the dark blue one with red flower.  Since the flower is raised, I have it opposite the handle of the mugs so you can drink left or right handed.

 
Mountain Scene using underglazes and Cream Rust glaze


Close up of a mountain scene, glazed in Peacock.  Beleive it or not, this is all one glaze; blue where thicker and green where thinner.

 
The flower was painted on using a purple underglaze.  You don't have to recaliprate your screen- it faded to blue while in the kiln.
All in all, i really enjoyed putting the flowers on, painting underglaze was a kick.  I like the way most of the samples turned out.  What do you think?  Which are your favorites?

Painting pottery.... I never would have thought...

What fun. I love them all. You are so talented and creative. I love both the raised flowers and the painted flowers. I really like the droopy painted on flower. It kind of looks like a corn flower.

Have fun in the studio.

I love how those turned out and have been wondering when we would get to see them. I think my favorite is the white mug with the yellow flower. Love the mountain scene, too.
